[UPDATE: The Eagles, who quietly swooped in and got Mike Vick a couple years ago, appear to have done the same thing with Asomugha, according to Jay Glazer. Terms of the deal are reportedly 5 years for $60 million with $20 million(ish) guaranteed.]

Positive spin from this Jets’ fan – hey, at least the Super Bowl pressure is off. And in saving the $10 million or whatever they were going to give Asomugha per year, the Jets can spend it keeping Antonio Cromartie and Braylon Edwards – that is, if those two even want to go back to New York after this week’s disaster.

Perhaps the Jets can get an upgrade over Edwards and lock down Green Bay’s James Jones … but frankly, I’d rather have Edwards (assuming the price is right). But Cromartie should be the top priority, because without him, the Jets are extremely weak at cornerback.

Nnamdi Asomugha, Reportedly, is Not Going to the Jets (or the Cowboys)

Albert Breer of the NFL Network was the first to report that the Jets are out, and it appears as if the last team standing will be the Dallas Cowboys.

Huh?

@AdamSchefter Nnamdi looks headed to the…Eagles.

Godammit!

[UPDATE: The Star-Telegram reports it won’t be the Cowboys.]

So did you write this post, see the update, rewrite the title, and then not re-write the body of the post?

Eagles, wow. What happens to Asante?

They flip DRC for a 1, or they have the best CB tandem in the league.

Why trade for a cornerback and not a first round pick for Kolb?

The Texans got secondary help and we got it cheaper. I no longer care that we missed out on Asomugha. Signing him might have prevented us from re-signing someone else like Leach (though I don’t think that’s happened yet).

5 year/ 60 mil. Isn’t it funny how the Pats and Eagles always swoop in and surprise the fuck out of everybody?

Jersey, if I didn’t already know you were black, this would have been really awkward to read.

I’m sure Rex Ryan agrees and will change his tone to hoping for a winning season with anything beyond that being found money

At least the Patriots have something to back up their swoops.

well, that was a wacky 15 mins. During dinner, with a crying baby, no less.

So … the Eagles have a nice pair of CBs, huh?

Fucking Andy Reid, say what you want about his clock management, but this cat makes shit happen and gets the most out of his talent.

and a backup cb that was a starter? Kolb trade seems pretty dumb if you are trying to really go for it this year.

Hearing they’re gonna flip Asante potentially…who wants him?

Btw… Andy Reid should coach the Eagles for the rest of his unnatural life. I hope Philly fans recognize this. Fucking phaggots.

tell your coach to quit screaming “we can win the superbowl” at every press conference then. That’s where the pressure comes.

Hearing they’re gonna flip Asante potentially…who wants him?

He’s pretty inexpensive this year, but very expensive next year and the year after. They should keep him for one year. I guess it would be smart to deal him better than cutting him though.

DeSean Jackson, pissed? Or does he end his holdout because they are now the super bowl favorites?
